Word of the Week #1

TACK

Source: The New York Times

Title: As Support Lags, Colleges Tack on Student Fees

Word Used in Sentence: College administrators say public universities are increasingly tacking on fees for the same reasons that some are experimenting with differential tuition for different majors: state support for higher education has languished, and legislatures shy away from approving tuition increases.

(92)

Definition: (n.) a course of action or conduct, esp. one differing from some preceding or other course.

My Sentence: Science major professors tack on the material fees rather than waiving the fee for students.
